PROCUREMENT

The procurement appropriations of the Department of Defense finance the acquisition of capital equipment, such as aircraft, missiles, ships, combat vehicles, weapons, and communications; major items for support of the capital equipment when it is in service; the industrial facilities

necessary to produce that equipment; and major modification of older equipment where modernization can be provided without buying new equipment. The capital equipment financed by these appropriations is either procured from private contractors or produced in Government arsenals, shipyards, and plants.

For greater clarity and completeness the activity structures of the appropriations for Procurement of equipment and missiles, Army, and Procurement of aircraft and missiles, Navy, have been expanded, and alined with those of the other procurement appropriations.

The 1964 procurement program of the Department of Defense continues large-scale production of new weapons in support of the basic military missions of the armed services. Special emphasis has been placed on providing equipment and supplies for support of sustained operations under conditions of conventional warfare. The growing military capability to meet conventional and limited war threats anywhere in the world is supported by continuing programs for increasing the mobility and firepower of ground forces, strengthening the close support capabilities of the tactical air forces, and modernization of the airlift forces. The nuclear deterrent force will be further improved by the construction of 6 additional Polaris submarines and the procurement of additional intercontinental ballistic missiles to supplement the longrange bomber force. Direct budget programs are estimated as follows (in millions of dollars):

This appropriation provides major items of combat and support equipment for approved Army forces in performing their assigned mission to meet successfully both atomic and nonatomic requirements of limited and general war. It also provides for the procurement of certain major component parts as well as for production engineering, tooling, and facilities in support of current procure

ment, arsenal modernization and production facilities.

In 1964, the Army's direct budget plan totals $3,316 million, as compared to $2,644 million and $2,632 million for 1963 and 1962 respectively. As in previous years this plan will be financed from new appropriations, unobligated balances, reprograming of previous appropriations and budget plans, and anticipated reimbursements.

The 1964 program is especially directed toward filling essential equipment requirements for the authorized forces

and providing equipment and supplies for support of
sustained combat operations. Modernization of older
equipment and supplies is also continued to provide the

3. Missiles.-This activity covers both surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles. In the former category, procurement of the Nike-Hercules air defense missile system and the Hawk missile system is continued. Initial procurement of the Mauler missile system is planned in 1964 to provide mobile armor and infantry elements a more effective defense against air attack.

The surface-to-surface missile program continues procurement of tactical missiles and ground equipment for the helicopter-transportable Pershing, a two-stage, solid propellant ballistic missile developed to provide longrange surface-to-surface fire in support of a field army. Production of the improved Honest John and Little John rockets, and of the solid-fueled Sergeant missile, is continued to equip units from division to field army level. Antitank missile programs are continued.

4. Missile spare parts.-This covers both initial provisioning and replenishment repair parts.

5. Weapons and combat vehicles. This activity covers all ammunition-expending items except missile systems, whether fired by crews or individuals, and armored vehicles. The 1964 program continues procurement of the M-60 tank, self-propelled artillery weapons, the M-113 personnel carrier and T-114 reconnaissance vehicle, and the modernization of small arms. Included in the family of self-propelled artillery weapons are the 105-mm., 155mm. and 8-inch versions. Typical of these is the 155-mm. self-propelled howitzer, an armored, full tracked vehicle with 360° traverse, which is both air transportable and amphibious. The Davy Crockett procurement is continued to provide the commanders of battle groups, and tank and armored cavalry squadrons, a tactical nuclear deterrent. The program also procures the self-propelled carrier for the 4.2-inch mortar.

6. Tactical and support vehicles.-These are the unarmored wheeled vehicles which provide surface mobility to the field forces and the worldwide logistical system. The 1964 program continues the replacement of the basic ton, 4 ton, 2%1⁄2 ton and 5 ton trucks, and provides increased procurements of heavy trailers and transporters. 7. Communications and electronics equipment.-This covers the procurement of modern communications and electronics equipment and ancillary items to support both tactical and strategic operations. The 1964 program procures additional FM series vehicular and man-packed communications sets of improved communications capability; improved airborne terrain surveillance and reconnaissance equipment, and air-to-ground communications equipment to increase the air mobility of the tactical forces; the worldwide strategic electronics and communications command and control systems equipments; cryptographic and countermeasure equipments and devices; and modification improvements for fire control and direction radar equipments and systems.

The 1964 program continues procurement of the 7.62 mm. NATO standard round, anti-tank munitions, ammunition for the new family of artillery weapons, additional quantities of artillery ammunition, mines, fuzes and other explosives.

10. Production-base support. This activity provides industrial facilities needed for production of end items and components, for production engineering, and for pilot lines required for new industrial production items. It also provides for initial layaway of Government-owned plants and equipment at the time production is completed and where it has been established that the facilities will be required in the event of mobilization.
